  2. Link professional world & student applications

  3. Tool links professional world and classroom • Inquiry-based lab notebook

  4. Notebook links classroom and professional world “Writing is how we think our way into a subject and make it our own.” William Zinsser, author of Writing to Learn

  5. NCSCOS goals • Top 2 Science Goals • Design and conduct scientific inquiry • Understand technological design • Major Math Skills • Solve relevant, authentic problems

  6. 21st Century Skills • All types of literacy • Global awareness • Problem solving • Collaboration • Creativity • Communication

  7. Ways to set it up

  8. Ways to set it up • Notebook level • Instructions • Table of contents • Numbered pages • Chronological • Entry level • Title & date • Purpose • Procedure • Results • Conclusion

  9. Interactive format Purpose: focus on today’s activity Examples: pre-test, quick-write, demonstration, T-chart Purpose: information from today’s activity (learning) Examples: textbook or lecture notes, vocabulary, lab procedure & data, worksheet, concept map Purpose: reflect or apply today’s activity Examples: content or lab questions, quick-write, 3-2-1 summary, diagram, graph

  10. Using notebooks • Teacher driven • Student driven • Journal • Portfolio • Individual • Collaborative

  11. Grading Lab Notebooks • Self, peer and teacher assessment • Rubric grades concepts, clarity, mechanics • 5 “Totally Awesome” •  Writing shows in-depth understanding of concepts •  Work shows in-depth reflection throughout the learning process •  Contains all expected components, including dates and labels on each page •  All pages are numbered properly, matching table of contents •  Right and Left side work is correctly organized with all criteria •  Use of color and labeled diagrams enhance understanding •  The notebook is very neat…SWEET!
